The Tossers – Agony
February 2, 2010
For fans of Flogging Molly, The Pogues and The Mighty Regis, I present you with the Chicago-spawned The Tossers; combining traditional Irish instrumentation and story telling with the aggression of punk rock. The result is a product that you more often find yourself dancing too rather than thrashing too. Agony is the band’s official sixth release and all of their core elements are prominently featured; relationships, booze, politics and whatever comes to the mind Read more
Choking Victim – No Gods No Managers
January 30, 2010
There are many bands that classify themselves as maintaining both Ska and Punk influences in their music, fusing both styles to create what most call "Skunk". While Choking Victim is a band well known for combining both genres in their music, their style and method is unlike most "Skunk" out there. The majority of Ska out there sustains both upbeat natures of what makes Ska: upbeat tempos and upbeat lyrics. Read more
Narcoleptic Youth – Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed
January 28, 2010
I’ve always found Colorado to be somewhat boring. The last time I was there visiting family, I made it a priority to find a good record store that is similar to the ones we have in Orange County. We found one that reminded me of Orange County so it felt like home. They had band posters everywhere, show listings, t-shirts, etc. Not to mention they had a great selection of used Punk rock music.

Amy Winehouse – Back To Black
January 20, 2010
Amy Winehouse is perhaps one of the most talented female artists to hit the mainstream music scene during the last decade. Amy Winehouse’s voice could be compared to voices like Aretha Franklin and even Mariah Carey, though Amy Winehouse’s vocal range is completely different. "Back To Black", Amy Winehouse’s second album Read more
Radiohead – Kid A
January 17, 2010
I like Radiohead. Well, let me rephrase that, I appreciate Radiohead. I don’t worship them like most Indie kids do, but I also know enough to recognize the genius that they possess. Kid A is a concept album about the first artificial intelligent being. It’s not the best choice of music to listen to if you’re driving in LA traffic as it is more meant for zoning out (not something I recommend while behind the wheel). Read more
Son of Sam – Songs from the Earth
January 16, 2010
If you’re a Misfits, Danzig, Samhain, Tiger Army or AFI fan, then this album belongs in your possession. A (initially apparent) one-off album by a group of horror rock/Punk pioneers featuring Davey Havok (AFI), Todd Youth (Danzig), Steve Zing (Samhain) and London May (Tiger Army/Samhain) on the drums. If the Misfits never decided to make a comeback with Read more
